He also won a few ballgames, running up a 101-61 record, which was good enough to take the first place spot in the Federation League Birdbrains Division standings.
"These guys are grown men. They don't need psychobabble, they need to win ballgames," Schneekloth snapped at his first press conference. While his approach was controversial, even for St. Louis, it netted the 74-year-old the Federation League Manager of the Year trophy. In response to which he replied, "It ain't molecular physics, it's baseball," and began discussing potential free agents with the local media.
